The sudden arrival of the Coronavirus pandemic

The sudden massive outbreak of Coronavirus took governments around the world by surprise. They had to quickly make decisions and create action plans to protect the health of the local population and prevent the spread of the virus in their territories.

For instance, most countries decided to close the borders to prevent the export and import of the virus. In the case of the US, the Trump administration also closed the borders for a considerable period of time and implemented emergency measures that directly affect the immigration sector.

However, there are thousands of foreign workers who are part of extremely important and essential sectors of the local market such as the US food supply chain.

Aside from healthcare workers, they have also been the front line in the battle against COVID-19 as they process the food that reaches American families’ tables on a daily basis, and thousands of them have been affected by the health crisis.

Thousands of Mexican workers affected by the global Coronavirus pandemic

The Mexican immigrant community is one of the largest in the US. Thousands of Mexicans work in essential areas of the market and also support their families abroad. However, they are currently experiencing adverse and risky circumstances due to the health emergency caused by the Coronavirus.

In fact, according to the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as of June, more than 2,500 essential Mexican workers have passed away in the US since the arrival of COVID-19. Most of them were part of essential sectors related to the food supply chain such as agriculture, food packaging and transportation.

Adding to that, Trump’s immigration policies have also increased restrictions for foreign workers and, currently, they do not have the same benefits as they did with previous administrations, increasing the health risk among immigrant communities.

Biden’s government could transform these circumstances

Democratic nominee Joe Biden took the victory in the November 3 presidential election. He will take office in January 2021 and immigrant communities currently residing in the US expect him to keep his promises.

Unlike Trump, the Biden administration plans to expand alternatives and opportunities for foreign workers, as well as implement protection protocols to mitigate the impact of the health crisis on essential sectors of the American market.
